Elsa's POV
Now that I'm four months along me and Jack can see what the baby is. It's Thursday afternoon during our lunch break, and we are waiting to be called back for an ultrasound. "Jack what do you think it is?" He smiled and held my hand, "I don't care, as long as it's healthy." A nurse called my name and we walked back, "alright, ms... Frost, how are you today?" I smiled, "I'm fine." She wrote on her clipboard, "any morning sickness?" I nodded, "almost all day." Jack added, "don't forget the tiredness dear." I smiled, "yeah, I will have like, a full night sleep, wake up and go to work, just to fall asleep in his office on the sofa." She wrote on her clipboard again, "anything else?" We looked at each other, "I think that's it." She smiled, "well, the morning sickness varies, sometimes it's all day, sometimes not at all. And the fatigue is the same, the baby is putting stress on you and making your muscles tired, therefore making you tired. It's completely normal." She did the ultrasound and we found out it's a little girl. She smiled and handed us the picture, "congratulations." We went back to work and we ran into Rapunzel, "so? What is it?" She said quietly. We still are keeping all of this a secret because if word gets out, well, you know already. I smiled and showed her the picture. She smiled, "aw, she's beautiful." By the way, if you're confused, we did the 3D ultrasound. "She looks just like Jack doesn't she?" I smiled. Rapunzel giggled, "mhm, and she has his thick brown hair too." I rubbed my now showing belly and smiled, "four more months baby girl." "Four?" Rapunzel looked at me. I nodded, "yes, I'm being induced around the eight and a half month mark, for safety reasons." She nodded, "oh." Jack and I went to our office and I sat on the sofa as he sat at his desk, "so, how long you thinking about taking off for maternity leave?" I sighed, "hm, three months maybe?" He nodded, "that sounds good. Have any names? I have a few." I smiled, "well, I have a couple. There's Crystal, and then River." Jack smiled, "love them. Hm, Crystal River Frost. How's that sound?" I rubbed my belly, "what do you think baby girl?" I felt her softly kick my hand, "that's perfect." I smiled, "I'll be right back dear." I got up and went to Rapunzel in the break room, "Rapunzel, can I talk to you a sec?" She turned around and smiled, "of course Els, what's up?" I got a bottle of water and sat at the table next to her, "you and Eugene have kids right?" She smiled, "a daughter, yes. And one on the way." I looked at her surprised, "when?" Rapunzel smiled, "I'm due in a month actually. Don't see it do ya." She giggled. I smiled, "no, I don't. Not at all. You look great." Rapunzel smiled, "thank you Els, you do too." I smiled, "thanks. So, about... the birth, I'm not so sure about this. I mean-" She giggled, "first mom jitters?" I nodded. She rubbed my back, "Elsa don't worry, it will be okay. Just relax."

Jack's POV
I soon saw Elsa come back to the office and start working on papers and files. "Uh uh. No, you are not doing that." She smiled, "honey I have work to do. It's not like I got this job just to get paid for doing nothing. I may be pregnant, but I have to do this." I continued sketching designs as Elsa filed, "so, she moving a lot?" She smiled, "not at the moment. She was doing somersaults earlier, but I think she's asleep." I nodded, "at least she's giving you a break." She nodded, "yeah, but remember, four months of on and off kicking. Then we get to meet her." She smiled. I sighed happily, "I can't wait. She's going to be perfect, just like her mother."
Six months along
"Elsa, you okay honey?" I knocked on the bathroom door. She's been really sick the past couple of days and I'm really worried about her and the baby. I heard her getting sick a while until finally opening the door and going to the couch. I felt of her forehead, she was burning up. "Honey, does your throat hurt?" She nodded. "Muscles hurt?" She nodded again. "Yep, you have the flu. No work today for you. I have to go to work soon, but Anna will be here in a little bit okay." I got ready for work and soon the doorbell rang. "Anna, thanks for taking care of her." Anna smiled, "no problem Jack, I'll call you if I need you." I left and Anna sat by her on the couch, "don't worry sis. You and Crystal will be fine." Elsa thought a second, "wait, how do you know her name already, we haven't told anyone." Anna giggled, "because when we were little that's what you wanted your future daughter's name to be." She smiled, "well, I got my wish. I have a family of my own."

Elsa's POV
"Jack honey, do you have everything packed?" I said as I finished packing mine in the living room. He walked in smiling, "yep, you ready?" I took a deep breath, "yep. Let's go have a baby." We walked to the car and he drove to the hospital. We walked in to the front and signed in, then took a seat. I rubbed my stomach and smiled, Crystal was kicking again. She must be excited too. "Elsa, we're ready for you." A nurse smiled. Jack and I walked back with her and she soon gave me a dose of Pitocin, which basically gradually starts contractions. "There you go sweetie. And when they start, they will be monitored on this device right here." She pointed to the strap around my stomach. I nodded. "I'll be back in a little bit okay." She smiled before whispering something to Jack and I saw him smile, then she left. "What did she tell you?" He smiled, "well, she just said that there is a cafeteria if I wanted to get us something to eat." He smiled, "I love you dear." I smiled, "I love you too." Ten minutes pass and the monitor was starting to show the contractions building up. He smiled and sat next to me and held my hand, "you okay?" I closed my eyes and laid back as I felt another contraction, "I'm fine." I felt her kick and I rubbed my stomach slowly, "soon baby girl. Really soon."
